"The 2008 class action alleges that the record companies “exploited” music owners by reproducing and selling in excess of 300,000 song titles without securing licenses from the copyright owners and/or without paying the associated royalty payments."

There's nothing like stealing directly from your clients.

Shouldn't they be looking in at the excessive fines that the Americans have been putting on people, and scale it up appropriately? $50million is a wrist-slap. $50 billion would be on the right scale of what they do to consumers.
